Thanks BadThad - I think this box was better than the last two boxes combined. Fastgc - FWIW, I've been around 30% here in CT for the past 6 months. Higher %s lend to better LWC yields as lower %s to lower LWC yields. Variety hunting contingent to either. Good luck!!

Rackster, Thanks. In my area (rural midwest) I usually find about 30% copper from MWR. The most copper in my area from MWR I have found is 50%. Yeah, the more copper the more the wheats - those 50% copper rolls had around 2 wheats  every 3 rolls.

32 LWCs from a box would be fun and productive! Do you look for varieties or error coins?
